Infineon – 3D magnetic sensor TLV493D-A1B6 for consumer and industrial markets
The 3D magnetic sensor TLV493D-A1B6 offers accurate three dimensional sensing with extremely low power consumption. Within its small 6-pin package the sensor provides direct measurement of the x, y and z magnetic field components, making it ideally suited for the measurement of:
- 3D movement
- Linear travel
- 360° angle rotation
By combining 3-axis measurement in a small package, with low power consumption, the
TLV493D-A1B6 provides contactless position sensing to applications currently using potentiometers or optical solutions. System size can be reduced, as magnetic threshold stability over temperature provides a more accurate and robust solution for these systems.
The sensor provides a standard 2-wire digital I2C interface, which enables high speed bi-directional communication between the sensor and microcontroller.
In keeping with the highest quality standards and environmental regulations, the sensor is RoHs compliant and JESD47 qualified.
